Re: [PHP] text grabber
you can try something like: ?php include(file_with_just_the_table_and_html_tags.txt); ? put your table in the above file (of course with a different name!) then call it when ever you need to. Other's will disagree but you also need to give the destination file a .php extension.

Re: [PHP] Empty form
Using header() to return will clear the entire form where all you want is
the person to fill in missing data. Yes?
I'd use something like:
if(!isset($name) die(Use the Browser's Back Button, fill in your name and
hit the \Submit\ Button);
if(!isset($address) die(Use the Browser's Back Button, fill in your address
and hit the \Submit\ Button);
etc.
This way, the user fills in only the missing data.
Hope this helps.

[PHP] strange behaviour with output buffering
hi, i'm working on content management sytem entirely written in Object oriented PHP using templates i used output buffering to be able to send header calls in the middle of my classes i have noticed that performance has become random meaning that the same script could take from 1 up to 30 seconds in the same conditions, passing exactly the same parms. while trying to find a solution, i removed the ob_end_flush() call while keeping the ob_start() call at the beginning of the script and strangely speed of execution came back to normal. output buffering is still on i am not flushing it out the pages are generated just fine without freeing the buffer ?? i would like to know if anyone has had similr experiences with output buffering this behaviour occured on a windows and a linux box both with php 4.1.1 and pretty much the same php.ini settings Regards Hassan El Forkani http://WarmAfrica.com EveryOne's Africa _ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If some other process--say, another invocation of the same script--tries to read from that file while you're still overwriting it--you've got problems, since it'll find only a partially-written file. That's called a 'race condition'. The other method avoids that, since while you're writing data to the temp file, processes just keep using the original. Once you're done, the rename happens atomically, preventing the race condition.

[PHP] db design
hi all, I need some tips on database (mySQL) design. The problems lie in languages. I'm gonna make a e-commerce webiste. it's rather big (in my terms/experience). The website should be expandible easily with regard to languages/translations. My biggest table with product descriptions has 43 columns. Other tables include a list of FAQ's, manufacturers and so on. What do you think I have to do? Make a new table for each language, or define more columns for each language within a table? What is normal in this, also with regard to doing queries? e.g. In the table with 43 columns, there are 11 columns which are the same for each language (product name, manufacturer and so on) The other columns will depend on language (like product description). --If I use a seperate table for each language than there is double info (no normalization with regard to the 11 columns) --If I use more columns, than I have 32 columns extra per language. If I make 10 translations, then this table will reach over 10x32=320 columns. I need somebody who can give me overall info on this, or shine a broad light on my Q. Does the db design has a large influence on flexibility with regard to future expanding? And how about query times (response) on a server. I don't want it to get too slow Well I think, you know my point now, any info is much appreciated!! thx in advance, Wilbert Enserink - Pas de Deux Van Mierisstraat 25 2526 NM Den Haag tel 070 4450855 fax 070 4450852 http://www.pdd.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] - -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How get the name of the array variable?
Tomek,
I got the problem , I want make preety debug function that shows array keys
and values and name of the variable containing array:
Here it is:
function show_arr($array)
//wyswietla wartosci z tablicy wraz z kluczami (przeznaczone do debugowania)
{
if(DABUG)
{
echo b---/bbr;
echo Array contentsb.strval($array)./bbr;
while(list($k,$v)=each($array))
{
echo $k = $vbr;
}
echo b---/b;
}
}
unfortunatly strval want work with arrays...
Any possible solution how to get name of the array variable?
This doesn't solve the strval problem, but in my debug output I wasn't so interested
in the array's name, as in
the meaning/status of the data it contained. Here is an equivalent approach (- the
idea of nesting the two
functions was the subject of a conversation with Torben here, a few days back):
Function ShowList( $title, $aList )
// Debug output routine to echo an array/list to the screen
//requires a documentary name for the list as $title
//requires the array to be listed as $aList
// NB co-requisite FnShowListItem
{
echo brListing array=$title: n= . count( $aList );
array_walk( $aList, FnShowListItem );
}
Function FnShowListItem( $item, $key ) { echo br$key= . $item . ~; }
//end of function ShowList
In the main routine make a call something like:
if ( DEBUG ) ShowList( Prefixed, $aURLs );
Please feel free to translate it into Polish.
I haven't tried to time/test, but I figured that the array_walk() would be more
efficient than writing an
(interpreted) PHP loop to run through the entire array/list, even with the function
call.
Perhaps someone can confirm/refute that?

Very nice IMO, but still not solve the value name problem.
BTW it's third solution that I see and every one of them have label for your
debugging output given as parameter.
But I'm very lezy and I prefer to write down db($my_var) then
db($my_var,this is my_var),
I doing lot's of debugin.

[PHP] Dynamic Date Select and SQL
I have a problem I hope someone can help me with... Firstly I have an SQL Query with a WHERE dateMonthAndYear = $month1 Already this shows part of what I'm trying to do. The date format in the DB is -MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Now I need to dynamically generate a pulldown of months... The range of months in the pulldown are historical, so the last month would be the current month (which should also be the SELECTED option). The first month would be a fixed date, say Jan 2002. The value of the options would probably be like so: select name=month1 // --- Jump Menu option value=$PHP_SELF?month1=$current_month SELECTEDFeb 2002/option // --- Current Month (SELECTED) option value=$PHP_SELF?month1=$first_month$first_month_text/option // --- First Month in range option value=$PHP_SELF?month1=$subsequent_month1$subsequent_month1_text/option // --- Other months in range . // --- Other months in range option value=$PHP_SELF?month1=$current_month SELECTEDFeb 2002/option // --- Current Month option value=$PHP_SELF?month1=ALL/option // --- Empty value will show all /select I guess the question is, how do I dynamically create the select, based on the above spec (or make $first_month, the first month available in the SQL Query i.e. get the earliest month from the Query), then do the select using ONLY the month and year information. I can do most of the bits in between, just do know how to do the dynamic select for this particular application, or get the date into the SQL where ONLY the month and year are relevant. I am using Pear DB and need this to work on MySQL and Access through Pear so the SQL needs to be quite standard. The above code is not syntaxed properlyjust meant for readability. Any ideas are much appreciated as I don't even know where to start with this one. Thanks Simon H -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

i would try:
for($i=01;$i=50;$i++) {
if(!empty($content) $row[$content] == $states[$i])
$selected = selected;
elseif($dstate == $states[$i])
$selected = selected;
else
$selected = ;
echo option
value=\.$states[$i].\.$selected..$nstates[$i]./option;
}
Well, all the boolean operators use lazy evaluation, so you can safely collapse your
tests into a single one. Also, using the ?: operator, you can turn the whole thing
into a single echo statement:
for($i=01;$i=50;$i++):
echo option value=\${states[$i]}\
.((!empty($content) $row[$content] == $states[$i]) || $dstate ==
$states[$i]
? selected : )
.${nstates[$i]}/option;
endfor;
Mind you, I wouldn't particularly claim this to be particularly readable, but it's
about as compact as you can get!
Cheers!

[PHP] The ASP application object in PHP?
I've recently started to learn ASP (*ducks the hurled flowerpots and vases*) because my school requires it, but of course I prefer PHP for my own scripting needs. I have however, noticed one feature that ASP has that I have not found an equal for in PHP: the application object. For those of you not familiar with ASP, the lowdown is this: The application object acts like a global session. You assign it variables and values like you would a session, but those variables are available to all instances and sessions. It is for example very useful to track different users at the same time, or to send messages from one session to another, or the likes. Anything like this in PHP, or will I have to find a workaround for it, or *ick* do that little sniplet in ASP?

Re: [PHP] good practice
It does to a certain extent. If you're writing code that you're expecting others to see and use, you should try to be consistent and follow convention. If you write up a large project in C++ and suddenly start naming header files with a .doc extension, somebody's going to get confused. Of course, if nobody's using your code but yourself, then whatever. But for the purposes of consistency, portability and common sense, following a common coding standard is a good thing. J Philip J.

Re: [PHP] db design
I would make 2 tables, a product table and a language table... It would look
like so:
Product ID | product name | manufacturer | etc
Then a language table that looks like:
Language ID | Product ID | product description | etc
Then you won't be replicated your 11 columns since they are not in the
product table anymore.. If there are 100 products, and 1 language then there
will be 100 records in the product table and 100 in the language table. If
there are 2 languages then there will be 200 in the language table.
This method means you will be able to expand your language endless... and I
don't think your DB Server will be slowed down too much by this, since u can
pull this all of with 1 query.. something like (from memory)
SELECT tblProducts.name, tblLanguage.Description FROM tblProducts,
tblLanguage WHERE tblProducts.productID=tblLanguage.productID AND {some
other query}
Hope this helps

Subject: [PHP] db design
hi all,
I need some tips on database (mySQL) design.
The problems lie in languages. I'm gonna make a e-commerce webiste. it's
rather big (in my terms/experience). The website should be expandible
easily
with regard to languages/translations.
My biggest table with product descriptions has 43 columns. Other tables
include a list of FAQ's, manufacturers and so on.
What do you think I have to do? Make a new table for each language, or
define more columns for each language within a table? What is normal in
this, also with regard to doing queries?
e.g. In the table with 43 columns, there are 11 columns which are the same
for each language (product name, manufacturer and so on) The other columns
will depend on language (like product description).
--If I use a seperate table for each language than there is double info
(no
normalization with regard to the 11 columns)
--If I use more columns, than I have 32 columns extra per language. If I
make 10 translations, then this table will reach over 10x32=320 columns.
I need somebody who can give me overall info on this, or shine a broad
light
on my Q. Does the db design has a large influence on flexibility with
regard
to future expanding? And how about query times (response) on a server. I
don't want it to get too slow
Well I think, you know my point now,
any info is much appreciated!!
thx in advance,
Wilbert Enserink

[PHP] Re: The ASP application object in PHP?
Bendik Simonsen wrote: I've recently started to learn ASP (*ducks the hurled flowerpots and vases*) because my school requires it, but of course I prefer PHP for my own scripting needs. I have however, noticed one feature that ASP has that I have not found an equal for in PHP: the application object. For those of you not familiar with ASP, the lowdown is this: The application object acts like a global session. You assign it variables and values like you would a session, but those variables are available to all instances and sessions. It is for example very useful to track different users at the same time, or to send messages from one session to another, or the likes. Anything like this in PHP, or will I have to find a workaround for it, or *ick* do that little sniplet in ASP? Thanks, Bendik Simonsen It doesn't exist. ASP is an application framework which exposes and manages those types of objects. It could easily be approximated simply by storing things in a database. There are significant drawbacks to earlier versions of ASP's handling of application variables - I can not vouch for these issues with Windows 2000 and above. However: 1. Application variables didn't scale across machines. Just like session variables, application variables were/are tied to one machine. In load balanced environments, this is useless. 2. Resource management. Application variables were tied to a specific thread, so even in your multithreaded IIS environment, accessing/updating app variables would require a specific thread to be open/available. If 10 threads needed to update the application variable, they'd all have to wait sequenatially. 3. Easy to abuse. So many people abused the heck out of them it gave ASP a bad name in speed with average users. MS went so far as to say in some of their white papers not to use application variables if speed was a concern. Also, many people would put database connection objects inside application variables, which was just hilarious, because of the single-thread issue above. There are a few other issues with application variables which rub me the wrong way - at least the early MS implementations - again, I can't speak to modern variations, but I suspect many of the same issues exist to some degree or another. They seem much like a 'crutch' if you will - if you need global variables, build an 'appobject' table and put variables in there, and simply create some functions to manage it. Maybe even create an 'application object' of your own, and instantiate it at the start of every PHP request. It would be a farily trivial thing, except for 'restarting' the application object when the application was 'restarted' (stop/start IIS, among other things). Remember, ASP is not a language, and PHP is. You're not programming ASP - you are most likely programming VBScript and your server environment gives that language access to server-specific functions such as an application object. Remember the distinction, and it should be easy to see how to duplicate that type of functionality within the context of the PHP language. Hope that helps. P.S. This is the kind of stuf we go over in depth in our PHP training courses for people migrating from ASP and/or operating in dual-language mode. :) -- Michael Kimsal http://www.tapinternet.com/php PHP Training Courses 734-480-9961 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

'Organizing' would be better served with the separate directory and/or a prepend, because most directory structures are sorted by name by default. I replied privately to someone on this already, but I'll post it here as well. The majority of people learning PHP do so by examining other code, and a great many do so in shared hosting environments where they can't control the server config files. Furthermore, because they are new they don't understand the security implications of .inc or other extensions, and blindly copy code and run it without knowing they are exposed security-wise. That's my primary beef with .inc and other non- .php extensions. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Polymorphism question
I am new to PHP but 10 years in C++
One of the cool/powerful things you can do in C++ is the following:
class DrawPlainDialog {
public:
...
virtual Draw(); // implementation draws a vanilla dialog box
};
class DrawStyleDialog : public DrawPlainDialog {
public:
...
virtual Draw(); // implementation draws better dialog
};
Somewhere in my code I have a function like:
void ShowGUI( DrawPlainDialog dd ) {
dd.Draw();
}
ShowGUI can be called with any object that is derived from DrawPlainDialog,
obviously. Only code that calls ShowGUI must be changed when a new
implementation of DrawPlainDialog is used. This feature of C++ to have a
base class pointer (or reference) be able to access derived class
functionality is not something I've seen in any PHP documentation. Does it
exist, and if not is there a workaround for this highly desirable feature?

I've also done C and C++ since the 80's.
My experience with virtual, is that there is no base implementation for a
function. Rather, the function is expected to be defined in the derived
class.
The inheritance you describe would have a base implementation (no virtual
declaration), which could be over-ridden in the derived class.
Yes, PHP does have the latter capability.

Whether or not you want to call administrating a web server a luxury is debatable -- I'm learning new things about it all the time. 'Organizing' would be better served with the separate directory and/or a prepend, because most directory structures are sorted by name by default. On using a separate directory, that's agreed. As a matter of personal aesthetics, I don't care to clutter a single directory with many many files (as prefixing filenames could lead to). The majority of people learning PHP do so by examining other code, and a great many do so in shared hosting environments where they can't control the server config files. It is an extreme misconception that this is a luxury that few have, in fact I would go so far as to say that shared hosting is a luxury more than anything else. If all you're doing is learning (and I assume that's what you're referring to in your post), then there's absolutely no reason to pay someone else to host your content. Linux and Apache are 100% free of charge. MySQL is also 100% free of charge, for those who wish to use it. I understand that a web hosting provider can provide more stability for public sites than a home connection, so for actually publising content it makes sense to go with a provider. But for development, you don't even need a phone line -- nothing could be easier than accessing a directory through 127.0.0.1, you don't even need to ftp/scp your files to a remote server. In fact, for development, you're better off if you -don't- put your server on the net, for security reasons. It allows you to experiment without fear that someone's going to try to root your box. A few months back I decided to learn how to administrate a web site, use a SQL database, and develop with a scripting language, to add to my limited knowledge of HTML. I'm doing it with an old Pentium II with only 256 MB of RAM. There's no reason a 386 or 68k (pre-PowerPC) couldn't do the same thing. Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP -- none of them cost me anything more than the time it takes to learn them, which pays itself back in dividends. I still don't know everything, and I'm sure that a competent cracker -could- root my box. But I'm learning all the time, and mentioning things like Apache directives (which are discussed all the time on this list) doesn't hurt anyone. Furthermore, because they are new they don't understand the security implications of .inc or other extensions, and blindly copy code and run it without knowing they are exposed security-wise. That's my primary beef with .inc and other non- .php extensions. Maybe I don't understand the security implications of .inc -- I thought that it was perfectly safe. Since my php.ini is not configured to parse files with '.inc' extensions, I thought that I was better off using a separate extension than '.php': so that the code cannot be executed out of context.

[PHP] Polymorphism question
I am new to PHP but 10 years in C++
One of the cool/powerful things you can do in C++ is the following:
class DrawDialog {
public:
...
virtual Draw(); // implementation draws a plain dialog box
};
class DrawStyleDialog : public DrawPlainDialog {
public:
...
virtual Draw(); // implementation draws better dialog based on some
parameters
};
Somewhere in my code I have a function like:
void ShowGUI( DrawDialog dd ) {
dd.Draw();
}
ShowGUI can be called with any object that is derived from DrawDialog,
obviously. Only code that calls ShowGUI must be changed when a new
implementation of DrawDialog is used. This feature of C++ to have a base
class pointer (or reference) be able to access derived class functionality
is not something I've seen in any PHP documentation. Does it exist, and if
not is there a workaround for this highly desirable feature?
TIA
Rich
PS Can anyone point me to the most comprehensive OOP documentation for PHP?

Re: [PHP] good practice
The only real security problem is that if the file isn't parsed and it's in the web server's document path, somebody can just go to http://www.example.com/include/config.inc and see the entire contents in plaintext -- passwords and config options galore. However, sticking those .inc files outside of the web server's document path or otherwise cutting off access to those files makes things a lot safer. When I met Rasmus at a seminar a few months ago, he mentioned that he kind of started the whole .inc thing with included files, but he was astonished how so many people followed his convention without realizing that somebody could look into the .inc file so easily. When he was going it, he always explicitly denied access to those files through a Files directive in Apache's httpd.conf file, which nobody else bothered to do. So if you want people to view those files and all of the code in them, go nuts. Otherwise, you'd better somehow cut off access to them. (Personally, I use an include directory and use a .htaccess file to limit access.)

Your .inc file has PHP code in it, right? Why not just call it .php and spare the server reconfiguration. If knowing which files are include files (long time since I've made that distinction!) just prepend them with inc_ or put them all in an includes/ directory. If you are including a file into another file with PHP's 'include()' function, it doesn't matter what the extension is. You don't even need an extension. Apache doesn't even see this as a separate file, it thinks of it all as one big file with the name of whichever file is doing the including. Giving the .inc suffix is a nice way to keep your code organized. Also, I keep my .incs in a separate directory. Not to mention I have a directive in my server's conf file that specifically prevents it from serving any file with the extension '.inc'. That's great for you that you have that luxury, as do I, but not everyone has access to their server's conf file. Yeah, you may not be able to access the server's conf file but you can still put your include files outside the server's web space and name them whatever you want. Put something like this in your scripts if you can't modify the php.ini or access the server's conf directory. ini_set(include_path, /path_to_your_include_directory); Regardless of the extension you use, putting them outside the server's web accessible area is the best way to protect them.

Rather than include that script properly (should have been a module) he just copied that script to the root directory. It worked. But gosh ... when we evolved that cgi script we did not know that there was another copy out there. It was a real fun bug to track down.

Re: [PHP] Empty form
Ben,
I've been dealing with this problem recently. The solution I found works
great in my case... the data processing page is the same as the form
page.
When the page is loaded it tests for post data. If no data is available
(ie !isset($name)), then the form will be displayed. When the user
submits the form, it actually submits it to the same page ($PHP_SELF).
This way, no matter how many times the user makes mistakes, your page
will faithfully redisplay the form until they get it right. You can even
build in special formatting, such as highlighting missing or incorrect
fields.
When the post data is verified, the page can display the next page by
using an include() or header() redirect, and bypass the form.
I hope this helps.

For those of you not familiar with ASP, the lowdown is this: The application object acts like a global session. You assign it variables and values like you would a session, but those variables are available to all instances and sessions. It is for example very useful to track different users at the same time, or to send messages from one session to another, or the likes.
